A new outlook on Africa: Steinmeier in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda und Kenya

Foreign Minister Steinmeier travelled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Kenya from 19 to 22 February. There, he met presidents and his counterparts for political talks, inaugurated the new runway at the airport in Goma and opened a Liaison Office at the Goethe Institut in Kinshasa. Steinmeier said that Europeans had to refresh their outlook on Africa; the continent was no longer defined by crises and conflicts alone – there were also anchors of stability and growing regional cooperation.
